vulnerable

2 a.m.

the alcohol starts to consume me

and the worse side of me prevails

flashes of anger, neverending madness

so i drink the sadness away

drowning memories of you in this bottle

flushing thoughts of you astray

now i'm nothing but nauseous

but i can still see you and your stupid face

and i scream and yell

these drinks have done me nothing but rage

and as i start to take my final sip

i start to crumble and break

cry as many tears as i've drank

sob as many breaths as i've had to take

extracting every single burden

in this horrible, vulnerable state

so i guess these bottles are my excuse

to let the hurting go away

but thoughts of you drive me insane

and though it's not enough

this will at least ease the pain

it's almost 4 a.m.

i'm still waiting for the sunlight's rays

still anticipating for better days
